Hi guys,

I have previously built a gaming pc and have a relatively good knowledge of upper end gaming pc parts etc.

However i need a laptop for college and i know very little about laptops particularly the lower end models.

My needs in college will be quite basic, web browsing, word processing, no gaming.

Requirements are a relatively light laptop with decent battery life. Basically i want the most basic laptop possible but not so basic that it would frustrate me with lack of speed etc.

Could you guys take a look at these two please and let me know what you think?
